I don't want to add more flags. It's already pretty complicated, more than it should IMO. If the tools using kmod can live with the change proposed here, I'm ok with that. > Also if the use case for loading builtin modules is not that common > ( Also don’t know if 'modprobe vt' command does the loading if not loaded) > can we have the same flags be used after checking if it is .ko file or from .o file if required? Well... there's no way for us to arrive at the final call to finit_module() for a builtin module. Simply because there's no file to load in memory (or fd to open) to pass to these functions. We simply fail because we can't reach that far in the code. -- Lucas De Marchi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-modules" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
